Hi, checking in after weeks & weeks away -- yes, I noticed that about the Olympics store, too. But Wickenheiser does sell #22 Wickenheiser Olympics jerseys on her own site, autographed or unautographed, so I'm not sure if they set up a deal for some athletes to market their jerseys exclusively on their own, or if she's just making up for the lack on the Olympics site (they'd sell more on the Olympics site, but selling them herself might be the only way for her to get a cut).

When I grow up and can afford to do things like go out to women's hockey games, I totally want one of these to wear!
